Stash is ahead--28 yards!

I finished the Brown Urban Cabin--that used 12.5 yards. (picture in a later post) 1.5 yards for a gift and pair of hot pads for .5 yard--that's another 2 yards. I bought 3 yards of a dark brown to finish my Plaid 4 patch, and 7.5 yards of a solid 30's type yellow. I found the brown in a sale bin for $1.69 yd and used a coupon for the yellow--that brought its cost down to $1.47 yd. Wheee!!!

Saturday the weather was perfect and I sat outside in a lawn chair to hand sew the binding. Its very quiet and secluded where I camp---just me and the wildlife yesterday.

Thelma--the turkey hen who has a nest somewhere near me stops by every morning and evening--she cleans up the spilled bird food underneath the feeder. She is VERY shy and I haven't been able to get a picture of her. But this morning I was able to photograph Doris--she was dusting in the flower bed in back of the Visitor Center. Two way glass in the windows--she can't really "see" us so I was able to snap a picture through the glass.

There's not much for flowers in this flower bed! We've given up--between the birds at the feeder, the squirrels, rabbits, gophers, turkeys, deer and a groundhog or two--its more of a parking lot than a flower bed.

Love that turkey photo. That is precisely why it would be silly for me to add any flower beds in my back yard. The deer and turkeys think it is their playground and nibble or nest as they please. But I do enjoy watching them out my family room windows.

Doris and Thelma? Surely there is a Beryl or maybe an Ethel out there too? I went to school with a Lavinia who of course had her name shortened to Lavvy which is what the precious call the toilet, poor thing.

If my back co-operates I am going to pull weeds today, after I go buy bugspray, it is about mid 70's, with a gentle breeze, perfect.
